that was a big -- that was a big moment for him. i think right now we're at a point much like we were with -- before the government -- almost government shutdown a few months ago, where you have boehner and harry reid, who is a deal-maker, don't forget, and reid actually, despite that shot across the bow today by the 53 senators, harry reid is a deal-maker. he doesn't have taxes in that plan that he has. they both -- both those figures emerged pre-- you know, during the budget battle that led to the -- that forestalled the government shutdown. they emerged as the major figures there. i think that's what we'll see. we'll see those two emerge, a deal eventually go to the white house. if this white house really thinks this is a catastrophe waiting to happen, it's going to have to deal with it. >> bret: charles, they may say in this letter that this deal won't pass the senate, but you have a number of democrats who are up for re-election from red-leaning states, who would have to vote on the boehner plan, that by numbers is not that dif

but the big question before us now is this: when will the promised reforms begin to pop up on the radar screen? and that radar screen is our further reading of additional audits, as they come out this fiscal year and into the future. when will we see sustained improvement in audit quality? to establish a solid baseline for assessing the highly touted transformation plan, my staff took another snapshot of recent audits. my latest oversight review is best characterized as a report card and it was issued on june 1 this year. each of the 113 unclassified reports published in fiscal year 2010 were reviewed, evaluated, and graded. after each report was graded, all the scores for each report on each rating category were added up and averaged. this created a composite score for each of the 113 reports. although 15 top-quality audits are highlighted in the report card, the overall score for all 113 was d-. those low, i know. maybe the score should have been a little higher. obviously a grading system isn't perfect. it may need some fine-tuning and we're working on that. but i still believe it pr
